Beecher as Il Chaplain.

On the 18th of July, 1877, the writer
was elected colonel of the 18th regi-
ment, Second division, of the National
guard of the state of New York. The
regiment had been greatly reduced in
numbers, but the men composing it
were earnest, active workers, full OF
spirit and. enthusiasm. An attempt
was made to- increase the size and
efficiency of the organization, and the
first step was to constitute a staff
adapted to the requirements of the
service and to give us popularity.
Among many questions, this one came
up: Whom could we find for chaplain,
to aid in securing for the regiment a
high standing? NY wife heard this
her prompt reply was: why, Beecher,
of course" The suggestion was ac-
cepted at a venture. Some of Mr..
Beecher's friends were consulted, and
the tender was officially made on the
10th of January, 1878.
Mr.. Beecher's first participation in
parade of the regiment was on the
occasion of an escort to Post Rankin,
No. 10, of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and to- participate in the decor
alton of the Martyrs Tomb, at Fort
Greene, on Thursday, May 80, 1873.
Mr.. Beecher had secured spirited
horse, which [ had been advised was
Kentucky thoroughbred, and which he
proposed to ride. In reply to sug-
gestion made by me that he might
have trouble in the control of SO
spirited a steed, Mr.. Beecher said that
he could stand any demonstration,
as long as the horse was pleased to
enjoy himself"
The order to march was given, the
drums rolled out their first notes, and
the horse, unused to such martial
sounds, reared and plunged so that [
made all effort to have the music
stopped. But Mr.. Beecher himself
Immediately discountenanced it. The
| Plymouth pastor firmly held his seat,
his Craftsmanship exciting general adj
miration. He soon brought the steed
under complete control, and in pass
ing me, on the way to his place in the
staff line, he said, quietly: Il guess
this horse was unaware of the fact
that | had my training in Indiana.
Out there, when | went to visit my
parishioners, in my younger days, [
| didn't follow the roads, and the rail
fences didn't stand in my way. The
horse knows all that now, and will
march in line in proper order"
Our chaplain was right. His bold
Kentucky Thoroughbred had been in
stantly and utterly subdued. Not
once again did the animal leave the
line; but the fire of his eyes showed
that it was the master mind and the
master hand alone that held him under
control.
On the march the rain began to fall,
and apprehensive of Mr.. Beecher' 5
health, | urged him to leave the line
and return home. ''Are you going to
leave?" he inquired; and, when re-
piled in the negative, he said: "A
/ soldier deserts in his first parade? Oh,
no; never do anything by halves.

Napoieon's Early Visions.

The following year at st. Jean
dAcre, on the eve of the last assault,
he added:

the people the abolition of slavery and
of the tyrannical government of the
pashas. / shall reach Constantinople

which will fix my place with posterity,
and perhaps [ will return to Paris by
way of Adrianople or by Vienna, after
having annihilated the house of
Austria"
Become consul, and then emperor,
he often recurs to this happy period,
when, ''rid of the restraints of
troublesome civilization, he could
imagine at will and construct at
pleasure.

The Local Newspaper.

The late Judge David Davis, of Hi
nois, whose Judgment on any lmpor-
tant problem was seldom questioned,
expressed his views as follows, regard
ing the value of local newspaper:
Each year every local paper gives,
from 800 to S., 900 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it is.
located. No other agency can or will
do this. The local editor, in proper
ton to his means, does more for his
town than any other ten men, and in
all fairness man to man, he ought to be
supported, not because you happen to
like him or admire his writings, but
because local paper is the best in
vestment 5hat community can make.
1t may not be brilliant OF crowned
with great thoughts, but financially it
is more of a benefit to a community
than a teacher or preacher. Under
stand us now, we do not mean morally
or intellectually, but financially, and
vet on the moral question you will
find the majority of the local papers on
the. right side of the question. To-day
the. editors of local papers do the most
work for the least money of any men
on earth. Subscribe for your local
paper, not as a charity, but as an in
YeStment.

An Indian Feast and Dance.

The ''te-can-na" is more INDUCED
IN now as part of religious worship.
Ihs IS properly the feast and dance.
A dog has been prepared as sacrifice
anu while 1t is being cooked over fire
IN the lodge and the savor3- odor is
waited to the nostrils of the Indian,
he performs his devotions. Only in
vlted guests are present in the lodge
to take part in the exercises. and out
side no one approaches near it.
When the dog has been well cooked,
it is dished up and passed around by
one OF the priesthood everyone hay
ing brought his own dish). 1t is then
eaten as quickly as possible, when the
ceremonies again begin.
Seated on the platform are the
musicians. They are hideously
painted, and are in state of semi
nudity, while they glitter with bar
barrie ornaments. Frantically they
beat upon drums, interspersed with
the shaking of gourds, singing, mean
while, the sacred chant of the clan.
Here is one commonly used:
Muh-quoh Mak-a-moan
Au-wash tus sa Ke-shuk-we
Norma, enau-<9t-we-
This is the sacred song of the Bear
(IIuhquoh) clan or band, four bands
being represented at the Indian viii
lage.
But now the discordant tone of the
chanting rises higher and higher, then
sinks away almost to silence. Again
it rises with renewed energy of voice,
and anon is heard no more. This is
continued for many hours. The wo-
men present are silent, and only the
voice of one who has been allowed
special privileges is heard.
After this to them solemn ceremony
the dancing begins, and it is also OBJ
served as part of worship. A loud,
shrill whistle is blown that reaches to
the distant lodges. Then the cover
inc is removed from the door, that all
who wish may behold the dance. One
behind the other with rhythmic, meas
ured step, they slowly move in a circle
around the lodge to the music(?) of
the drum and the fierce chanting of
the orchestra" which is mingled
with the whoops and shrill cries of the
dancers. The step of the women is q
peculiar jump which moves their
whole bodies. The dance is generally
continued until all are exhausted by
the violent exercise.
Every style of costume, or lack OF
costume, is here depicted ON the part
of the Indians. Some are clothed
with consciousness of virtue and
necklace of bears claws; others wear
buckskin leggins and dignified de-
meanor; and still others ''bee-sa-
cab" (shirD of gay calico decorated
with ribbons) and a war-club, while
an ancient representative of this his
toric race, in the intensity of his reli-
gious fervor appears upon the scene
clad with rectitude and a feather"
fan.
The wo3nen are dressed usually in
broadoloth skirts handsomely err
broidered with different-colored silks,
and all the paraphernalia of orna-
ment that is used by both men and
women on this occasion; neither must
we forget the paint, which is put on
with lavish hand.-AlIie B. Bassby,
